In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to properly implement Flutter textformfield only numbers by using practical Flutter code examples.
Introduction: Flutter Textformfield Only Numbers
By default the input value that a user give to the Flutter textformfield is a string, means it can be text, characters, special characters, numbers etc.
What if we want only numbers to be inputted by the user. We can specify that so our Flutter textformfield will only take numbers.
Let’s first see the default input type of textformfield. After that, we’ll set the input type to only numbers.
Default Flutter Textformfield Input Type
For that, we’ve to implement a simple Flutter textformfield widget. See below code
TextFormField()
Implementing Flutter Textformfield Only Numbers
Let’s now implement Flutter textformfield only numbers so the input that the user provides will be of type number.
For that, we’ve to use the keyboard type constructor of Flutter textformfield widget. Then by passing it the text input type class and accessing its number property, we can easily set the Flutter textformfield input type to numbers.
Make sure to hot restart the app after changing the keyboard type to get the expected results.
keyboardType: TextInputType.number
Flutter Textformfield Only Numbers Source Code
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: Homepage(),
);
}
}
class Homepage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return SafeArea(
child: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 40),
child:
TextFormField(keyboardType: TextInputType.number)))));
}
}Conclusion
